Atop the God Tree in Samsara Grotto, the fruit glowed with a flickering red light.
Naruto extended the palm embedded with Momoshiki's Rinnegan.
The fruit responded, detached from its stem, and dropped into Naruto's hand.
Naruto caressed it fondly, examining it closely with his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
Although he had never seen the original appearance of the fruit Kaguya had eaten, he knew this one far surpassed it in both quality and quantity!
The Ten-Tails had to devour an Ōtsutsuki to become a God Tree. The better the God Tree, the better the fruit it could nurture-and producing a superior tree required the Ten-Tails to swallow a young, healthy Ōtsutsuki!
Ten years ago, this Ten-Tails, obtained from Kara, should have transformed into a God Tree after devouring the dying Isshiki. But Obito had used Cessation of Arhat to forcibly sever the causal connection leading to its transformation!
Now, ten years later, that Ten-Tails had successively devoured Kinshiki, Momoshiki, and Urashiki-three young, healthy Ōtsutsuki. Only when its growth could no longer be suppressed even by Cessation of Arhat had it finally transformed into a God Tree!
Only after absorbing the Sage of Six Paths' legacy, Samsara Grotto, had it nurtured this fruit of the God Tree's chakra!
Perfect timing, ideal conditions, and the right people... It was no exaggeration to say that nowhere in the entire history of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's rise could another God Tree fruit of such quality be found!
With the restriction that one could consume only a single Chakra Fruit, obtaining this fruit meant obtaining a future!
In the future he had once lived through, Naruto had lost everything. Forced to return to the past and lay his plans, he had finally achieved this result!
This power was indispensable if he wanted to stand against that clan!
